Temporary mounting device

A temporary mounting device for temporarily mounting an article to a mounting support structure, the temporary mounting device comprising:

• an elongated, curved, main stem member having a length from 12 to 16 inches, the curved main stem member being curved lengthwise along the length with a radius of curvature of from 10 to 26 inches, the elongated, curved, main stem member being formed from a resilient spring steel material having a diameter of from 5/16 to ⅜ of an inch and a length of from 12 to 16 inches;
• two v-mounts formed from a pair of v-mount legs that are joined together at a proximal end of the legs at an apex, the two v-mounts being coupled to and longitudinally spaced apart along the length of the main stem member, the v-mount legs of each v-mount being positioned at an angle of from 65° to 89° relative to one another, and wherein the curved main stem member is curved outwardly away from the two v-mounts;
• a mounting member extending from a distal portion of at least one of said v-mount legs, the mounting member having an attachment element configured to attach the article thereto;
• and
• a selectively releasable tension strap that releasably secures to the curved main stem member at a position along the length of the curved main stem member between the v-mounts and that is configured to be secured around the mounting support structure for securing the temporary mounting device to said support structure when the temporary mounting device is in a mounted configuration, the v-mounts being configured to engage a surface or surfaces of the mounting structure when the temporary mounting device is in said mounted configuration, and wherein the curved main stem member provides an outward biasing force when the tension strap is secured around the support structure to produce tension on the tension strap when in the mounted configuration.
